Posted 7/07/08

Went to a Garden Party

What could be better than walking through yard after yard of pretty flowers and fluttering butterflies? No wonder this annual garden event has become a staple of the summer calendar. Author and naturalist extraordinare Pat Sutton lets her passion for wildlife gardening show as she escorts tour goers through a wide variety of Cape May County gardens.

You not only see private yards not usually open to the public, (including Pat's) you also learn a lot about how to create your own backyard butterfly and hummingbird paradise.

It's a three day affair, with Cape Island gardens the centerpiece on Friday, North Cape May to Rio Grande on Saturday and Goshen to Dennisville Sunday..

The cost per tour is $35. Sign up for all three tours for $90. Done in conjunction with the Nature Center of Cape May. Call (609) 898-8848 to reserve your spot.
